Bortles and Daunte Culpepper are the only two UCF quarterbacks to throw for more than 3,000 yards in multiple seasons.

College stats: Carr’s stats increased steadily in his final three seasons, enabling him to become the first Fresno State QB with three consecutive seasons with at least 3,000 passing yards. He became the third player in Mountain West Conference history to win consecutive Offensive Player of the Year awards (2012-13). The younger brother of 2002 No. 1 overall pick David Carr led the nation in several categories in 2013, including passing yards (5,082), touchdown passes (50) and completions per game (34.85). Carr’s numbers trumped his junior season, allowing him to break the MWC single-season record for passing yards (4,104) he set in 2012. He threw 37 TD passes that season, which was up from the 26 TDs and 3,544 yards he threw for in 2011.
